Smallest Commonwealth I'm the World.

Smallest Commonwealth in the World.
The Lillputian principalities of Lich-
tenstein, San Marino and Monaco,
hitherto considered to be the smallest
commonwealth III Europe, are relatively
well sized territories as compared with
another-the village Of Rueckersdorf
For while the aforementioned states
count their territories by square miles
and their populations by thousands, or
hundreds at least. Rueckersdorf COM
prises only few square meters, and its
inhabitants at the present time do not ex-
coed fourteen.
1t is situated in the eastern part of the
duchy Of Altenburg, about an hours dis
lance from the watering place of Rome
burg, ten minutes walk from the foot Of
Mount Reuster, which rises to height of
3jS meters above the level of the Baltic,
and from the summit of which one over
looks an extent of country of nearly six
teen square miles, subject to the sway Of
eight rulers.
The commune of Rueckersdorf twelve
farms with the land belonging thereto,
constitute an enclave of the kingdom of
Saxony, six of which farms, in alternate
order belong to Saxony and the other six
to Altenburg Thus far it Is not cleared
up which of these two states has the
right Of patronage over the church and
school. In the easternmost part of the
village on n steep bluff are two houses
without buildings; no one knows to whom
they belong for time out Of mind nobody
has ever claimed them. Sick and weary
of this, the population has offered itself
en- masse TO Saxony and begged TO be
taxed by her, conscripted by her-any
thing but left out in the cold shade

ARTILLERy's KING.
ALFRED KRUPP,
THE GREATEST CANNON MAKER IN THE
WORLD, DECEASED.

The death OF Alfred Krupp at his splen
did mansion near Essen, Rheinish Prussia,
is that of the leading maker of cannons,
and one of the largest employers Of labor
in the world. Herr Krupp lived to ripe
ole age, having been born in the year 1872
He was born at Essen. When he was
still boy his father founded the manufac-
tory, which in his hands, grew to enor-
nous proportions. His father started the
works on a very small scale and with
limited means. At first he employed only
two workmen. The mandatory had
grown to large proportions before old Mr.
Krupp's son, Alfred. made the discovery
that put his establishment far ahead OF all
similar concerns in the world. He dis
covered the method of casting In very
large masses. In 1851 he sent to the Lon
don Exhibition a block of steel weighing
forty. five hundred pounds, and was for
years able to cast steel in one mass weigh
ing more than four hundred thousand
pounds. He manufactured a great variety
Of articles for use in various peaceful IN
dustries, but his world wide fame was
made by the production OF the enormous
siege guns with which the Germans did
such terrible execution when they invested
Paris.
Krupp made his first cannon in 1876.
The guns he produced at that time were
small field pieces, but he rapidly increased
the size of his cannon, and twenty years
ago they were bought in large numbers
by all the European powers. For several
years Krupp gave regular employment
in his iron mines, steel factories and foun
dries to over fifteen thousand men.
In 1864 Krupp declined to accept the
letters of nobility offered TO him by the
King of Prussia. To the end he preferred
to be plain Herr Krupp. He was one of
the wealihiest men in Germany, and did
much tor the welfare of his numerous en-
ployees. Only few weeks ago it was
announced that he intended to start daily
newspaper at Essen for the benefit of
his workmen. Some OF Krupp's processes
in the manufacture of steel and the making
OF cannon were very carefully kept from
the knowledge of the outside world. No
person but employees was admitted to his
great foundries. The commission ap
pointed by the United States Government
a few years ago to study the question of
cannon foundries and ornaments abroad
tried in vain to get krupp's permission to
enter his works.

How to Get Strong.

One of the secrets of muscular recuper-
alton is in stopping WREN fatigue begins
from exercise. He or she who is no. the
fresher in body and mind for the exercise
taken, has had an overdose OF what in prop
er measure would have proved benefit.
The gain in strength is shown and felt in
the increasing ability to do more and more
without exhaustion. The measure of sue
cess is not in the greatness of the feat ac-
complished, but in the ease with which
the exercise is INDUCED in, and in the alb
sence of exhaustion after it. There are
occasions frequent enough, in which peo-
pie in the struggle of life are forced be-
You'd their powers OF endurance, and there
is no need to carry into the pursuit of
recreation the fatigue which exacting
work imposes For beginners this is i'm
portant; after a time one can take more
exercise and feel no fatigue.

Mistaken Ideas.

Early in life the thought occurs that to
throw off the guidance and direction of
parents and friends, to be sef-directed, is
manly. To adopt the habits, the manners,
the course of life and companions, how
ever object onable that course may be, is
manly. Thousands, tens OF thousands,
have been ruined by initiating what are
wrongly termed manly habits. No we'll
brought-up boy but would feel blush of
shame on ordering and drinking spirits
for the first time in a public place; but
presently. in initiating those who do not
blush, tire manly habit of drinking would
be contracted, and life commenced which
might end in confirmed drunkenness. The
conscience. before it is scared and dulled,
is ever true in pointing to the right path !;
its iain'est doubts should lead from temp.
tation with the strength of unyielding de-
termination. There should be no parley-
ing or reasoning when conscience says no.
Conscience is the manifest instinct, and to
obey its teaching, to follow its leading is
in the highest and best sense to be manly.
That which degrades and lowers man,
self-respect, which causes him, in his
better moments. when true to himself, to
